Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) program was started on 1st January 2013 by Government of India to change the mechanism of transferring subsidies. This program aims to transfer benefits/subsidies from various welfare schemes, directly to the people through their bank accounts.

The primary aim of DBT program is to bring transparency and terminate pilferage from distribution of funds sponsored by Central Government of India. The program will lead to simpler and faster flow of information/funds and ensure accurate targeting of the beneficiaries, de-duplication and reduction of fraud.

The complete list of such schemes can be viewed here:

Various schemes under DBT have different eligibility criteria. If you have applied for becoming a beneficiary of any such scheme(s), only then you will receive the benefits as applicable under the scheme. You can read more about DBT and its linked schemes here: https://dbtbharat.gov.in
